Traveller's Tales Would Love To Make LEGO Batman Sequel (News)

Oct 4, 2008

An excerpt from the latest issue of NGamer, an interview with Traveller's Tales' Arthur Parsons:

"NGamer: Do you see the wider DC universe making it into Lego form? The Justice League could be good.

Arthur Parsons: Whether any more of the DC universe makes the transition into Lego depends largely on the success of Lego Batman, and on whether Traveller's Tales, Warner Bros. and Lego want to make any other characters into Lego games. I'd love to make a sequel to Lego Batman because it was immense fun to work on."

The challenges of Wii lightsaber control (News)

Nov 7, 2007

7 Nov, 2007 Two upcoming games offer lightsaber control via the Wii remote - Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and the still-very-much-under-wraps Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Having already sampled the former, we know that the on-screen saber-wielder performs only a loose interpretation of the gestures executed by the player. So why are we not given complete control over our luminescent stick? Jonathan Smith from TT Games - the developer behind the brilliant Lego Star Wars series - ...

Nov 6, 2007

Nov 6, 2007 So you've caused a brick-showering gunfight in the Cantina. You've abused the Force to stack up some empty beer bottles - then rolled a bowling ball through the lot of them. You've built a little LEGO car and pootled happily around one of those flat plastic Lego roads with the bobbly grass on. You've created a new Star Wars hero with C-3PO's head and Princess Leia's legs. And all this in the first five ...

Jun 6, 2007

Wednesday 6 June 2007 The debut images from the recently announced Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga have been jettisoned from LucasArts HQ and while we are helplessly excited about the prospect of cutting through the entire Skywalker family drama as comedic brick characters all over again - complete with new characters, new levels and online modes - we were a bit surprised to see a definite touch of the clones about one of the images. The dubious shot shows the bikini-clad Leia tethered to a ...

Retail Radar: Lego Star Wars for Wii and PS3 (News)

May 18, 2007

CD Universe now accepting preorders for Complete Saga; Xbox 360 and DS versions also listed.

With Lego Star Wars and its sequel already having tackled toy-themed games of the original Star Wars trilogy and its prequel films, there's nothing left for the franchise to do but move on, applying the same to other popular property. Take Batman, for instance.

But as the wizened Muppet Jedi master Yoda might say, "No. There is another." At least, there might be another, if new product listings on CD Universe are accurate. The retail Web site has listings up for Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga on four platforms: PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS, each with an expected November 8 release date. The same four listings have also turned up in Wal-Mart's internal database of product codes.

Judging from the name, it doesn't take a huge leap of logic to suggest these are compilation titles that include both the original Lego Star Wars as well as last year's Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. However, of the four systems listed, only the Xbox 360 and the DS played host to versions of Lego Star Wars II, and none of them count Lego Star Wars among their libraries (although Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii can play both games through backward compatibility).
